2010 MAZDA5 front mudflaps????

[mrcanada1968]

Hi There,
I recently purchased a brand new 2010 Mazda5 GT....I notice the trim levels here in Canada show that the GS comes with Front Mudflaps as standard on the vehicle....but my GT doesn't have them! Can anyone confirm that front mudflaps are standard on the GS/GT 2010 Mazda5??? Did they forget to put mine on at the factory???

I think they did not care to require suppliers for a mudflap molded to fit the side sill. Or maybe they think the side sill is
good enough to function as a mudflap.


Some of us here just made do with 'off-the-shelf' 'flat mudflaps' for the front. To be replaced Until Mazda comes up with one for the GT. My canadian tire flaps been there for 3 winters now.

No mudflaps for the GT from the factory, MrCanada, but check the older posts in the forum for mudflaps on the GT/Grand Touring.

Many owners of these models have come up with something, just like Skyhawk has.

Did you not read the responses? Yes the GS came with mudflaps standard and the GT doesn't due to the sidesills. It clearly shows it in the specifications.

Looks like they were able to do this by removing the side sills from the GS model! the GS had side sill just like the GT for a few model years
